Abstract

This paper reviews the experimental progress made towards plasma-based accelerators since the last Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop at Lake Geneva in June, 1994. It has been a very productive two years, with many new experimental results from all over the world. The latest results from the Plasma Beat Wave, Laser Wakefield, and Plasma Wakefield Accelerator concepts will be reviewed. The explosion of results from the instability-driven or self-modulated Laser Wakefield Accelerator experiments will be reviewed as well as such enabling technologies as plasma channel formation which is necessary to guide laser pulses over long distances.
